Default first song

What ever song you pick Please DO Not sing along as the video guy is filming ...... it looks really bad and a bit cheesey! ops:

if your getting dance lessons choose one with a helpful beat to dance to. When there is a memory to go with a song its great and all that matters that you and Mr to be have fun.

Default First Dance Songs

Hi
As a wedding music consultant I often get asked for 'alternative' first dance songs. Here's my own Top 10 list:

1. You’re Beautiful (James Blunt)
2. My Funny Valentine (Ella Fitzgerald)
3. You Do Something To Me (Paul Weller)
4. Loving You Is Easy (Alicia Keyes)
5. Just The Way You Are (Billy Joel)
6. All I Want Is You (U2)
7. For Once In My Life (Stevie Wonder)
8. Chasing Cars (Snow Patrol)
9. Better Together (Jack Johnson)
10. Fallen (Pretty Woman soundtrack)

Best of luck!
Debbie

Hi Debbie

Just reading your reply and I see that one of the songs you mentioned is Better Together by Jack Johnson. That is mine and my partners "song" but we thought perhaps it was a bit too fast and beaty for a slow dance (if that makes sense!). Have people used this song before and does it look stupid dancing to it?

Cheers
Yvonne

Default first dance songs

I have been looking into this myself. Here are a few that I like.

Can't Get Enough Of Your Love by Barry White
Dedicated To The One I Love by The Mamas & Papas
Forever And Ever Amen by Randy Travis
Happy Together by The Turtles
I love the way you love me by John Micheal Montgomery (& boyzone but let's bypass that!!)
I Only want be with you by Dusty Springfield
My baby just cares for me by Nina Simone
When A Man Loves A Woman by Percy Sledge

Hope this helps.
Best of luck for the future

Default Songbird

My absolute favourite song that we're going to have for our slow dance is Songbird by Eva Cassidy. It's so lovely and very romantic, and I just love that it never features on any of the usual lists for first dances.

The only problem I have is that hopefully our band won't make a terrible job of it! It's a tricky song to get right.

Hope it helps
